Installation

Three ways to install aeqi. All produce the same self-contained binary.

Install script

Detects OS and architecture, downloads the latest release. Linux (amd64, arm64), macOS (amd64, arm64), WSL.

curl -fsSL https://aeqi.ai/install.sh | sh

Cargo

Build from source with the Rust toolchain. The dashboard UI is embedded via rust-embed.

cargo install aeqi

Docker

git clone https://github.com/aeqiai/aeqi && cd aeqi
cp config/aeqi.example.toml config/aeqi.toml
docker compose up

From source

git clone https://github.com/aeqiai/aeqi && cd aeqi
cd apps/ui && npm ci && npm run build && cd ../..
cargo build --release
./target/release/aeqi start

Requirements

  • Runtime: none — SQLite is bundled and the UI is embedded.
  • LLM provider: an OpenRouter, Anthropic, or Ollama endpoint.
  • Source build only: Rust stable plus Node.js 22+ (UI build step).

Verify

aeqi --version
aeqi doctor --strict
